Is this the oldest football programme in existence...

Calcio 9. February 1672
Abin. Giovedì Grasso.
Manuscript on paper in brown ink of a match played during Carnival in 1672. Very rare document related to an early game of football in Florence. The document in two columns reveals the names of the participants to the game: lead by the Calcianti, followed by the Alfiere (Flag bearer).

I am pretty sure this is the pirate edition and not the official issue.
